- Opening Kill Episode 47: Black Christmas (2006)
Happy Holidays! This Christmas day we dive into the 2006 remake of Black Christmas, a holiday slasher that dials the gore all the way up and then stares directly into your soul—mostly through eyeballs. We break down Billy’s messy, mean-spirited backstory, the over-the-top kills, and the movie’s bizarre obsession with eye trauma, from sharp objects to lingering close-ups that refuse to look away. It’s nasty, excessive, and clearly trying to outdo the original in shock value, so we talk about whether all that blood, skin, and eyeball carnage actually works or just feels grim for the sake of being grim. Grab some eggnog, avert your gaze don't eat the cookies, and join us as we tear into this sleazy holiday remake. 👁️🔪🎄

1 hr 18 min - Opening Kill Episode 46: Jack Frost
This week we’re talking about Jack Frost (1997), the killer snowman horror-comedy that somehow became a cult classic… even though it really shouldn’t have. We break down the plot, the low-budget effects, and the nonstop bad jokes while trying to figure out who this movie was actually made for.
From questionable acting to scenes that make you wonder how this ever got greenlit, Jack Frost left us cold. We discuss what could have worked, what absolutely didn’t, and why this one completely misses the mark for us despite its holiday horror reputation.
Grab some hot cocoa and join us as we melt down this frosty mess and explain why Jack Frost ends up on our naughty list. 🎄🩸

1 hr 14 min - Opening Kill Episode 40: Companion
This week on Opening Kill, we’re diving into the eerie, neon-drenched sci-fi horror Companion — the movie where grief gets a body count and technology gets way too personal. We’ll break down the plot, the vibes, and of course the killer design choices that make this one stand out in a sea of spooky future-shock nightmares.
And you know the drill — before we get into the deep cuts, we start at the beginning. Does this movie’s Opening Kill slice its way to the coveted Butcher Knife award? Or does it flop so hard it gets downgraded to the dreaded Butter Knife? We have opinions — sharp ones.
So plug in, tune in, and maybe double-check your smart devices before bed. Just saying.
